A Thomas Featherston hat-trick sent Roscommon on the road to victory over a fancied Kerry side in the All-Ireland U-21 HC 'B' semi-final at Cusack Park, Ennis today.
Featherston struck twice in the first-half to give Justin Campbell's charges the perfect start but Donie Mackessy pulled one back for the Kingdom and they trailed by 1-6 to 2-5 at the break.
The second half was a closely contested affair but Featherston's third green flag gave the Rossies a match-winning cushion.
The winners will now meet Kildare in the decider after the Lilywhites received a walk-over from Tyrone in the other semi-final.
